Drawing upon Patristic, Coptic, and Arabic sources spanning a millennium, the analysis contextualizes the Demetrian corpus at its various stages of composition and presents the totality of his hagiographic corpus in translation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume constitutes a definitive study of Demetrius, but more broadly, it provides a clearly delineated hagiographic program and charts its evolution against a backdrop of political developments and intercommunal interactions. This fascinating study is a useful resource for students of Demetrius and the Church in Egypt in this period, but also for anyone working on Early Christianity and hagiography more generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maged Mikhail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138189324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138189324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Maged Mikhail","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086322544895,"sku":"9781138189324","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_054aeffa-0532-4cd4-9bf4-05b90c4a0d88.jpg?v=1769094029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legacy-of-demetrius-of-maged-mikhail-9781138189324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
